Towards the upper level of the stairs to the Information Centre, a Mallee Ash, Eucalyptus langleyi [Section 172] is a young upright tree bearing many buds now opening to cream fluffy flowers. The wall of orchids inside the Centre are often changed and outside the doors in a pot, Grevillea leptobotrys displays its lovely strands of pink flowers among the entanglement of wiry branches. Edging Banks Walk plants include Scaevola aemula ‘Aussie Crawl’ [Section 174] a dwarf compact plant with deep purple fan-shaped flowers. Close by is Scaevola albida [Section 174] with smaller pale pink flowers. In a pot, a kangaroo paw, Anigozanthos rufus‘Kings Park FederationFlame’ [Section 174] which displays its ‘paw-like’ orange-red hairy flowers on terminal stems. Anigozanthos‘Bush Dawn’ [Section 210] has yellow flowers. Many kangaroo paws of varying colours are now flowering in the Gardens including Anigozanthos‘Big Red’ [Section 210] bears its attractive vermillion stems and flowers. Scaevola ramosissima [Section 210] is another floriferous dwarf plant with large purple flowers.

Returning to the lower level Plectranthus sp. [Section 125] is a vigorous herb with grayish velvety leaves and spikes of tiny blue flowers. Rounding the curve Clerodendrumfloribundum var. attenuatum [Section 125] is a tall slender shrub with speckled trunk and terminal clusters of cream buds now opening to white petalled flowers. Edging the road an orchid, Cymbidium suave [Section 125] rooting on an old tree trunk, is dense with long leaf spikes among which are long arching sprays of tiny brownish-green flowers. Seen from this road are few tall shrubs, Cuttsia viburnea [Section 125,114] with its many branches crowned with dense clusters of white daisy-like perfumed flowers.

Entering the Brittle Gum lawn, Grevillea‘Robyn Gordon’ [Section 109] is a low open shrub with divided leaves and large red terminal flowers. Seen on the far side of the lawn is Grevillea robusta [Section 107], a tall tree open with lateral branches and gold with large flower sprays favoured by many birds. These trees are also obvious in sections 105 and 78.
A return walk through the cool green Rainforest is a pleasant experience.
